Sohar Health

索哈尔健康

, a healthcare technology company that automates insurance benefits eligibility checks, making it easier to find and verify patients' coverage. The transaction, which closed on October 2nd, 2026, marks the first acquisition in Zocdoc's nearly 20-year history. As Zocdoc expands its healthcare access infrastructure, it is investing in scaling capabilities that make the path to care simpler for patients and providers, including insurance verification..

，这是一家医疗保健技术公司，可自动执行保险福利资格核查，使查找和验证患者承保范围变得更加容易。该交易于2026年10月2日完成，是Zocdoc近20年历史上的首次收购。随着Zocdoc扩展其医疗接入基础设施，它正在投资于扩大各项能力，以简化患者和医疗服务提供者的就医路径，包括保险验证。

Zocdoc knows the strength of Sohar's differentiated technology and team firsthand, as this acquisition builds on an existing relationship. The two companies have worked closely together since 2025, when Zocdoc selected Sohar as its insurance technology partner after evaluating many other solutions on the market.

Zocdoc 对 Sohar 差异化技术和团队的实力有着切身的了解，因为此次收购建立在双方既有合作基础之上。自 2025 年以来，两家公司一直紧密合作；当时，Zocdoc 在评估了市场上众多其他解决方案后，选择 Sohar 作为其保险技术合作伙伴。

Sohar stood out, particularly in its ability to find patients' coverage with minimal inputs. Since then, Sohar's technology and expertise have become an important part of Zocdoc's work to make insurance easier to navigate for patients and providers alike..

Sohar 脱颖而出，尤其体现在其能够以极少的输入信息快速确定患者的保险覆盖范围。自那时起，Sohar 的技术和专业能力已成为 Zocdoc 工作的重要组成部分，致力于让患者和医疗服务提供者都能更轻松地应对保险事务。

Care Access Network

护理接入网络

, opening the infrastructure it built for its marketplace over nearly two decades to power access to care everywhere patients search.

，将其近二十年来为市场平台打造的基础设施开放出来，为患者 wherever 搜索医疗服务时提供接入支持。

Partners including Amazon Health AI, Gemini, Yelp, Healthgrades and Blue Shield of California can connect their users to real-time availability and booking with more than 200,000 providers across 200+ specialties and 10,000+ insurance plans, directly on their properties — powered by Zocdoc. The Sohar acquisition builds on that expansion, adding insurance technology to make coverage verification more seamless at scale, both on Zocdoc and across its partner network..

包括亚马逊健康人工智能（Amazon Health AI）、Gemini、Yelp、Healthgrades 和加州蓝盾（Blue Shield of California）在内的合作伙伴，能够借助 Zocdoc 的技术支持，在其自有平台上直接为用户提供覆盖 200 多个专科、接受 10,000 多种保险计划的超过 200,000 名医疗服务提供者的实时预约空档查询与预订服务。对 Sohar 的收购进一步推动了这一扩张，通过引入保险技术，使 Zocdoc 及其合作伙伴网络能够在更大规模上实现更无缝的保险覆盖验证。

'As we build the healthcare access infrastructure that powers care everywhere patients search, we are investing deeply in making the experience of finding and booking care more seamless for more patients at scale,' said Oliver Kharraz, MD, founder and CEO of Zocdoc. 'We know the Sohar technology and team well, and we share a desire to tackle complex, systemic problems to remove the barriers that stand between patients and their care.

“随着我们构建支撑患者在各类搜索场景中获取医疗服务的可及性基础设施，我们正大力投入，以规模化地为更多患者提供更无缝的就医查找与预约体验。”Zocdoc 创始人兼首席执行官奥利弗·哈尔卡兹医学博士表示。“我们对 Sohar 的技术和团队非常了解，并且我们共同致力于解决复杂的系统性问题，以消除横亘在患者与其所需医疗服务之间的障碍。

We are confident that bringing Sohar's platform and expertise into Zocdoc will make insurance easier to navigate for patients and their providers when it matters most: at the moment of booking.'.

我们坚信，将 Sohar 的平台和专业能力融入 Zocdoc，将在患者及其医疗服务提供者最需要的时刻——即预约就诊时——让保险流程更加便捷易懂。

Confidence in coverage is core to patients' healthcare access

对医疗保障的信心是患者获得医疗服务的关键

Insurance shapes which providers patients can see, what care is covered and what they will pay. Getting that information right helps patients confidently choose and book care, while helping providers reduce friction and administrative work. But deciphering coverage is harder than it should be. Insurance information is fragmented and complex, and determining coverage, benefits and network status can require significant work for patients and providers alike.

保险决定了患者可以就诊的医疗服务提供者、哪些护理服务在承保范围内以及患者需要支付的费用。准确提供这些信息有助于患者自信地选择并预约护理服务，同时帮助医疗服务提供者减少摩擦和行政工作负担。然而，解读保险覆盖范围本应更加简单。保险信息分散且复杂，确定承保范围、福利和网络内状态对患者和医疗服务提供者而言都需要耗费大量精力。

Half of insured adults say they struggle to understand at least one aspect of their health insurance,.

半数有保险的成年人表示，他们难以理解其健康保险的至少一个方面。

Sohar makes that process simpler. Instead of requiring patients to enter detailed insurance information, its technology can find coverage using basic information like a patient's name and date of birth. From there, Sohar can verify benefits and determine whether a provider is in-network. Sohar has been Zocdoc's insurance technology partner since 2025, supporting insurance discovery and verification for patients and providers.

Sohar 让这一流程更加简便。其技术无需患者输入详细的保险信息，仅凭姓名和出生日期等基本信息即可查找保险覆盖情况。随后，Sohar 能够核实福利并确定医疗服务提供者是否在保险网络内。自 2025 年以来，Sohar 一直是 Zocdoc 的保险技术合作伙伴，为患者和医疗服务提供者提供保险发现与验证支持。

Since then, millions of patients have verified their coverage when searching for care with Zocdoc..

自那时起，数百万患者在使用 Zocdoc 寻找医疗服务时验证了他们的保险覆盖范围。

'As a physician, it has always baffled me that at the moment people need care most, they have to face a gauntlet just to understand whether their insurance will cover it,' said Ashish Mandavia, MD, co-founder and CEO of Sohar Health. 'Whether someone is navigating a health crisis or booking routine appointments, they should be able to access care without unnecessary friction.

“作为一名医生，我一直感到困惑：在人们最需要护理的时候，他们却不得不经历重重障碍，才能弄清楚自己的保险是否涵盖相关费用。”Sohar Health 的联合创始人兼首席执行官阿希什·曼达维亚（Ashish Mandavia）医学博士表示，“无论是应对健康危机还是预约常规门诊，人们都应当能够毫无不必要阻碍地获得医疗服务。”

We built Sohar to help create that experience, and we can now bring it to millions more patients with Zocdoc.'.

我们打造 Sohar 旨在帮助营造这种体验，如今借助 Zocdoc，我们能够将这一体验带给数百万更多的患者。

'Sohar has always been a mission-driven company focused on making it easier for people to access care, and we found that same conviction in Zocdoc,' said Lucas Gordon, co-founder and CTO of Sohar Health. 'We've been working toward the same goal from different parts of the healthcare experience. Joining Zocdoc gives us the opportunity to bring what we've built to far more patients and providers and pursue that mission at a much greater scale.'.

“Sohar 始终是一家以使命为驱动的公司，致力于让人们更便捷地获得医疗服务，而我们在 Zocdoc 身上也发现了同样的信念。”Sohar Health 联合创始人兼首席技术官 Lucas Gordon 表示，“我们一直从医疗体验的不同环节朝着同一目标努力。加入 Zocdoc 让我们有机会将我们的成果惠及更多的患者和医疗服务提供者，并以更大的规模践行这一使命。”

Sohar's platform will operate without disruption, keeping its existing name, products and customer relationships, while continuing to build out their leading insurance capabilities and grow their business. Zocdoc's users and customers will continue to benefit from Sohar's technology, as they do today..

Sohar 的平台将无缝运行，保留其现有名称、产品和客户关系，同时继续打造其领先的保险能力并推动业务增长。Zocdoc 的用户和客户将继续受益于 Sohar 的技术，一如当下。

Two companies that already know they work well together now have the opportunity to do more together: building stronger healthcare access infrastructure and making it easier for patients and their providers to navigate care.

两家已证实合作默契的公司如今迎来了深化合作的机会：共同构建更强大的医疗可及性基础设施，让患者及其医疗服务提供者能够更便捷地获得和协调护理服务。
